We can’t believe no one’s made a shepherding sim before. This seems like such a no-brainer for a gameplay concept.

To be fair, it does look like there’s more to The Free Shepherd than simply rounding up sheep.

This debut trailer hints at a lingering mystery, but it’s one we won’t solve until 2027, when the title is scheduled to trot onto the PS5.

Here’s the game’s summary:

“Run fast and free as a sheepdog in a beautiful but troubled world. Herd masses of lost sheep to a secret refuge. Discover a mysterious calamity that only you can stop in The Free Shepherd.”
